The schedule sure is tight for the next few weeks. a couple of home games, then Liverpool twice, then the CL final. Last thing we need is more injuries.

God knows who we will field in Germany with the suspensions (its gutting we wont be putting out a full team, it feels like a pre-written excuse for another heartbreaking result) but the way Ramires, Iva, and our strikers are playing in big games gives me a LOT more confidence for the FA cup.

So 2-0 down against Barca, 10 men on the pitch, goal in the last minute of the first half, penalty missed by Messi 3 minutes into the second half and then goal by Torres in 90th minute plus. I'm sure you could have predicted that....

Great result, not a great game.

Hoofing it to the big man up front and hoping for the best when you've been played off the park... No doubt it can be effective, but it's bloody awful to watch.

what a night! fabulous stuff from chelsea. gritted, dug in deep came back from 2-0 down with 10 men against the best team in the world on their own soil, and scoring two fabulous goals as well. bring on the final!

negatives though have to be that we will not have Invanovic, TJ or Ramieres in the final.

Credit where credits due , Chelsea were terrific last night ,Kind of reminded me of the great Liverpool sides carrying the flag in the late 80's early 90's . I was cheering them on from early doors & even jumped up & tried kick the ball in for Torres , I feel so ashamed now that i'm sober !

I don't think anybody would say we played Mourinho's idea of the beautiful game but it was always going to be a tactical game for Chelsea, despite a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, and DiMatteo got it right.

We managed to drag out a hard victory under extreme pressure against all the odds.

Reality check here.... If anyone other than an English side had played with the Chelsea tactics over 2 legs, we'd be slating them.

Well done to Chelsea for having the audacity to play like Stoke City in a European semi, it's a great result, but it was bloody awful and cynical stuff out there tonight.

Nonsense.

Any team that would try and play Barca at their own game at the Nou Camp would be committing suicide.

We've (Arsenal) tried it twice and got gubbed both times, I think Chavski got their tactics just right.

Agreed lets not forget that Chelsea were only a minute away from it 3 years ago.

LFC fan here, genuinely well done to Chelsea.They're probably the only English side that can play the type of football that can beat Barcelona (witness Utd and Arsenal get outplayed in recent years). Ugly yes but all that counts is the result.

betfair chaps - as you know i put 2x£10 bets on last night and my net profit was around £19 something so i now have £29 something in the account. trying to transfer this back into my bank account but it seems to only want to let me do £20 at most? any ideas why?

i just fking wish torres hadn't have scored then i'd have been massively up but hey ho.

Did you use a "free" bet? If so you don't get your stake back.

it's letting me have my £20 back, but not the £9 i got in profit. does that mean to get that £9 i have to bet on something else and win before i can put it back into my account?
